Beat notes and short envelopes don't mix well. Not that this is much of a problem in actual music making, but it might hint at some timing detail that could be improved. I tried to replicate this using 1/192 notes, but they were fine.
Steps to reproduce
Put i.e. Kicker in the B&B editor, set volume envelope to 0 on everything except hold=0.01 or so. Disable all other envelopes and LFOs, turn volume envelope amount to max. Turn on all steps and play the beat.
Expected behavior
A steady beat.
Actual behavior
See screenshot. The sound cuts in and out in a pattern that changes when adjusting the BPM. And of course it varies with the sample rate and oversampling, as well.
Screenshot
(3 instruments panned left/middle/right) that should be beating on every step of B&B editor for 8 bars).
